[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] Keepalive monitoring & reporting

[Remy Horton <remy.horton@intel.com>]

This patch-set adds functions for detecting and reporting live-ness of
LCores, the primary requirement of which is minimal overheads for the
core(s) being checked. Core failures are notified via an application
defined callback. As an example l2fwd with random failures is used.

Due to its size, the keepalive functions are built directly into the
EAL, rather than being in their own library - this point needs discussing, 
as does the integration into l2fwd as opposed to being a new application.

  rte: add keep alive functionality
